How can AI make meetings better? That's the simple question that inspired Granola, a productivity tool that can tell you what was actually discussed in that meeting last week and what the real next steps are. In this episode of Generative Now, host Michael Mignano, partner at Lightspeed, sits down with Granola co-founders Chris Pedregal and Sam Stephenson at their headquarters in London. They talk about how they first met, their early product bets, and how they decided to focus on solving one painful problem: the chaos that follows every meeting. They share the story behind their early experiments with GPT-3 and how that eventually evolved into a tool designed especially for people who find their days filled with back-to-back meetings. Chris and Sam explain why they avoided flashy AI features to focus on simplicity and habit-forming design, how they quickly found their product-market fit, and what it means to adapt quickly in the age of LLMs. Episode Chapters00:00 Welcome and Introduction01:15 Finding the Right Co-Founder01:51 Tools for Thought and AI03:24 Identifying the Problem04:38 Building the Solution05:07 The Evolution of AI and App Layer07:46 Challenges and Innovations11:20 Business Model and Future Outlook14:24 The Launch and Early Success17:52 Theoretical vs. Practical User Needs18:17 Stress and Software Design19:28 Scaling with AI22:05 Maintaining Quality and Taste24:10 Building a Silicon Valley Startup in London28:03 The Future of Granola30:27 Early Feedback and Iteration35:09 Privacy and Data HandlingStay in touch:www.lsvp.comX: https://twitter.com/lightspeedvpLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lightspeed-venture-partners/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lightspeedventurepartners/Subscribe on your favorite podcast app: generativenow.coEmail: generativenow@lsvp.comThe content here does not constitute tax, legal, business or investment advice or an offer to provide such advice, should not be construed as advocating the purchase or sale of any security or investment or a recommendation of any company, and is not an offer, or solicitation of an offer, for the purchase or sale of any security or investment product.

Sorry lijkt het moeilijkste woord voor Elton John. En vele anderen met hem. Waarom vinden mensen dat eigenlijk lastig? Waarom is het een waardevolle vaardigheid om te kunnen? Wat levert het op als je dat doet? En hoe zeg je nou eigenlijk goed sorry? In deze aflevering bespreken psychologen Lennard Toma en Thijs Launspach hoe je nou wel en niet sorry zou moeten zeggen. Iets wat relaties niet alleen repareert, maar uiteindelijk zelfs sterker kan maken.

What if the best person to solve the mystery of alien communication isn't a SETI researcher or a radio astronomer, but instead a theoretical physicist trained in the deepest notions of physical law, symmetries, and quantum field theory? Well, today, I'm joined by Latham Boyle, a renowned theoretical physicist exploring the fundamental symmetries of the universe and developing new ideas to understand how the universe began. But his research goes beyond that—he's also tackling one of the greatest mysteries of all time: the Fermi Paradox. After explaining everything we need to know about symmetries, Latham shares his bold theory of a mirror universe, where the cosmos is symmetric across the Big Bang, and how that could explain the strange silence from the stars. We explore how this radical idea might reshape our understanding of dark matter, the origin of the universe, and why advanced civilizations might be using quantum signals we're simply not equipped to detect. What if we're not alone, just looking in the wrong way? — Key Takeaways:  00:00 Intro  02:29 Explaining symmetries and CPT symmetry  05:07 Theoretical framework and observational evidence  09:49 Symmetry violations  12:56 Possible alternative explanation of the early universe  40:55 Quantum entanglement and the Fermi Paradox  51:14 Technology of biological material?  56:29 Outro — Additional resources:  ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter:⁠ ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating⁠ 

Part 1 of this discussion examines psychology, philosophy, religion, spiritually, science, and medicine, a panel of five (5) people opens with the question, 'where am I?' and 'what is going on [in the world]?' and refers to James Hillman, ideas and action as an artificial distinction, are they the same thing? How are they interlinked? The poet Major Ragain is quoted, 'contemplation alters the course of rivers.' From the Bhagavad Gita: Freedom from action is not accomplished by abstaining from action, so how is it accomplished? Relinquishing the fruit of action Ghandi's, 'through service, I find myself.' The Panel begins to examine the Taoist concept of non-action, Wu Wei. How do we cultivate Wu Wei? The Panel explores Univerisal Truths. Natural action arises, we have a deep intrinsic calling, how do we find and express it? What is our reason for being here? To receive the Divine Will is a part of choiceless action. Biographies of Panel: Dr. Bob Insull is an New York State Licensed Psychologist with more than 60 years experience teaching, training, and treating in the arena of human behavior. In his clinical practice, he has worked across the developmental stages (children to golden-agers), across the diagnostic spectrum (chemical dependency, severe mental illness, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and PTSD), and treatment settings (clinics, inpatient psychiatric centers, and private practice). During the closing years of his practice, he became interested in the area of psychological trauma and worked with survivors in individual and group settings. He has been retired from active practice for about 15 years and spends his time engaged in self-discovery on the Sufi Path and social-change activities with his church. Brian Mistler is a Missouri-hillbilly curious about Reality. He has lived as a computer scientist, psychologist, running and growing businesses, and helping entrepreneurs, hospitals, and healthcare providers. Mid-life Brian had a partially debilitating nerve injury and soon after met a true Vedanta teacher who spent 30+ years in India and trained under Swami Chimayananda, Sawmi Dayananda, and others. This refocused his study of the classic non-dual wisdom as presented in the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads. Learn more at http://www.stillcenter.media. Hari Om Tat Sat. Peace, peace, peace. Richard Grego is Professor of philosophy and cultural history at FSCJ. His research interests focus on cross cultural themes in religion and science - including philosophy of mind, comparative world religions/world civilizations, and the metaphysical - theological implications of theoretical physics and cosmology. His publications have included studies in the history - philosophy of science and conceptions of nature in the history of western philosophy, as well as cross-cultural perspectives on mind/ consciousness in western philosophy - psychology and the neo-Vedanta Hindu tradition. Prior to his academic career, he was a criminal investigator - polygraph examiner for the Florida Office of the Public Defender and in the private sector Instructor at the Criminal Justice Institute and International Academy of Polygraph Science in Florida, and national Academic Director of the Criminal Defense Investigation Training Council. Joel David Lesses is President and Executive Director of Education Training Center, Inc. and his work experience is in education, psychology, and counseling for people marginalized by trauma, addiction, and psychological distress. He is deeply vested in addressing the effects of mental health distress and its marginalization including, incarceration, homelessness, and institutionalization. Joel is dedicated to reframing mental health distress as a potential spiritual marker and existential opportunity. He holds dual Master of Science degrees from University at Buffalo in Rehabilitation Counseling and Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Epidemiology. Henry Cretella, M.D. studied and practiced Tibetan Buddhism for several years along with training in martial arts. He then immersed himself in the more universal Sufism of Inayat Khan, an Indian mystic, for close to twenty years. He functioned as a senior teacher in the Inayati Order and the Sufi Healing Order before pursuing his independent practice and study of mysticism. He now integrates what he has learned and experienced over these many years. He graduated from Vanderbilt Medical School and completed his psychiatric training at Strong Memorial Hospital of the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. His professional career spanned over 40 years as a general and child and adolescent psychiatrist and included teaching, administration, clinical practice and consultation in the greater Rochester and western NY areas. This, along with his spiritual and especially mystical interests lead him to certification as a mind body practitioner through the Center for Mind Body Medicine and Dr. James Gordon. He retired several years ago from active psychiatric practice, but continues to incorporate what he has learned into his spiritual practices and offerings.

Part 2 the Panels opens to discuss: 'What makes us come alive?' 'What is your 'note' in life?' (Rumi's 'be your note.') Discussion turns to Rumi's quote 'when I was young I wanted to change the world, when I grew older I wanted only to change myself.' How do we attune to spiritual teachers? How do we know who our spiritual teachers are meant to be? Moments that open and we lose sense of time, time falls away: Activity When meeting new people, old karmic connections? In our Dharma, our work Henry's discussions, Sohbet, mystical discussions on mystical subjects, with his teacher. How do we find what makes us home in the world? How do we cultivate spiritual discernment in Life? The World as ourself Is there preparation to receive 'flow' states? The Panel also explores: Where does the spiritual path begin? What are the implications of having a guide or spiritual teacher? Teachers seeing into their students Tears as an indicator of one's spiritual path Sufism as a path of 'heart' Karma of helping others as way of being helped The importance of 'others before self.' We end with two poems from Ikkyu: Raincoat and Straw Hat Woodcutters and fishermen know just how to use things. What would they do with fancy chairs and meditation platforms? In straw sandals and with a bamboo staff, I roam three thousand worlds, Dwelling by the water, feasting on the wind, year after year. I Hate The Smell of Incense A master's handiwork cannot be measured But still priests wag their tongues explaining the 'Way' and babbling about 'Zen.' This old monk has never cared for false piety And my nose wrinkles at the dark smell of incense before the Buddha.

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted engages with Dan Tocchini, a transformational leader and executive coach, who shares his journey of personal growth and the importance of authenticity in leadership. Dan discusses the concept of catalysts in life, how trauma can serve as a catalyst for change, and the significance of facing one's double life to achieve true transformation. The conversation delves into the dynamics of relationships, the power of vulnerability, and the necessity of self-management in leadership roles. TakeawaysA catalyst is someone or something that triggers change.Facing your past is essential for personal growth.Authenticity in leadership fosters trust and open communication.Transformation involves embracing your shadow self.People are more motivated to change to avoid suffering than to pursue pleasure.Self-awareness is crucial for effective leadership.You must manage yourself before you can lead others.Love can persist even in challenging circumstances.Communication is shaped by the listener's interpretation.Vulnerability is a strength in relationships. Theoretical knowledge is useful, but practical knowledge provides intrinsic value.Navigating relationships requires understanding and managing expectations.A broken promise often signals a deeper need for connection.Recognizing reality is crucial for effective leadership.Complaints can indicate areas needing attention and change.Facing challenges head-on can lead to personal growth.Transformational leadership fosters adaptability in times of change.The Revenant Process offers a deep dive into personal and leadership development.Loss can strengthen family bonds and provide profound insights.True identity is rooted in connection and shared experiences.Chapters00:20 - Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast01:19 - Dan Tocchini: A Catalyst for Change07:15 - Understanding Catalysts in Personal Transformation12:15 - Overcoming a Double Life: The Journey to Authenticity20:19 - The Power of Authentic Leadership30:37 - The Journey of Transformation37:05 - Navigating Relationships with Wisdom39:50 - The Importance of Reality in Leadership44:00 - Adapting to Life's Storms48:56 - The Revenant Process and Leadership Training50:23 - Lessons from Loss and Family Bonds Tocchini's Links Website: Take New GroundLinkedIn: Dan TocchiniInstagram: @dan_tocchiniPodcast: The Naked Leadership PodcastBook: Us: A User's Guide Free eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights

More and more people are, “doing their own research.”  Self-identified experts and influencers on podcasts (podcasts!) and social media endorse treatments that are potentially harmful and have little to no evidence of benefit, or have only been studied in animals.  An increasing number of federal leaders have a track record of endorsing such products. We and our guests have noticed that in our clinical practices, patients and caregivers seem to be asking for such treatments more frequently.  Ivermectin to treat cancer.  Stem cell treatments. Chelation therapy.  Daneila Lamas wrote about this issue in the New York Times this week -after we recorded - in her story, a family requested an herbal infusion for their dying mother via feeding tube. Our guests today, Adam Marks, Laura Taylor, & Jill Schneiderhan, have coined a term for such therapies, for Potentially Unsafe Low-evidence Treatments, or PULET. Rhymes with mullet (On the podcast we debate using the French pronunciation, though it sounds the same as the French word for chicken).  We discuss an article they wrote about PULET for the American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, including: What makes a PULET a PULET?  Key ingredients are both potentially unsafe and low evidence.  If it's low evidence but not unsafe, not generally an issue.  Think vitamins. If it's potentially unsafe, but has robust evidence, well that's most of the treatments we offer seriously ill patients!  Think chemo. What counts as potentially unsafe? They include what might be obvious, e.g. health risks, and less obvious, e.g. financial toxicity. What counts as low-evidence?  Animal studies? Theoretical only? Does PULET account for avoiding known effective treatments? Do elements of care that are often administered to seriously ill patients count? Yes. Think chemotherapy to imminently dying patients, or CPR. How does integrative medicine fit in with this?  Jill Schneiderhan, a family medicine and integrative medicine doc, helps us think through this. How ought clinicians respond?  Hint: If you're arguing over the scientific merits of a research study, you're probably not doing it right.  Instead, think VitalTalk, REMAP, and uncover and align with the emotion behind the request. Does the approach shift when it's a caregiver requesting PULET for an older relative who lost capacity? How about parents advocating for a child? For more, Laura suggests a book titled, How to Talk to a Science Denier.   And I am particularly happy that the idea for this podcast arose from my visit to Michigan to give Grand Rounds, and the conversations I had with Adam and Laura during the visit.  We love it when listeners engage with us to suggest topics that practicing clinicians find challenging. And I get to sing Bon Jovi's Bad Medicine, which is such a fun song! -Alex Smith

Lässt sich die Liebe durch Lust auf Sex steigern? 8 Impulse, mit denen das gelingen kann. Am Anfang der Liebe ist alles einfach. Man trägt die rosarote Brille, ist auf Wolke 7. Doch dann kommt die Gewohnheit, der Rausch lässt nach. Alltag, Stress, Kinder, Job, die Liebe hat es schwer und oft erleben Paare, dass es dann auch mit dem Sex nicht mehr läuft wie früher, was wiederum die Liebe in Gefahr bringen kann.

Between the study of specific languages and the philosophy of language lies what Ryan Nefdt calls a “Goldilocks zone” of theoretical issues related to language. In The Philosophy of Theoretical Linguistics (Cambridge University Press, 2024), Nefdt introduces and explores the elements in this zone, including different theories of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and differing views of how language evolved, which languages are possible, and what defines language. Nefdt, a professor of philosophy at the University of Cape Town, shows where dominant linguistic theories, such as Chomskian syntactic theory and truth-conditional semantics, fit in a generalized framework where a key theoretical dimension is the role of social context.

David Goodman is the Director of the Center for Psychological Humanities and Ethics and the Dean of the Woods College of Advancing Studies at Boston College, where he also teaches in the Department of Formative Education. A past president of the APA's Society for Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology (Division 24), Goodman is known for his interdisciplinary work at the intersection of psychology, philosophy, theology, and ethics. He is the founder of the Psychology and the Other conference series and serves as editor of two book series: Psychology and the Other and Essays in the Psychological Humanities. In this conversation, Goodman draws on the work of philosopher Emmanuel Levinas to reimagine therapy not as a space for self-optimization but as an encounter with responsibility—a call to become more available, interruptible, and open to the world beyond ourselves. He reflects on psychology's history of centering the individual at the expense of the relational, critiques the structural limitations imposed by managed care systems, and shares clinical insights from his own practice. He explores how therapy can become a site of ethical awakening rather than adjustment, and how the dominant metaphors of psychology (often drawn from consumer culture and medicine) may obscure the relational depth of human life. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Hofmeister's background in analytic materials science has given her a deeper than average understanding of how to deal with complex physical systems, which allows her to see what others miss. Often, she will investigate a system that's thought to behave in strange ways - like galaxies whose rotation appears to violate Newton's laws - and discover that a deep confusion about how to treat the system mathematically produces fantastical explanations like dark matter or modified gravity. In our conversation we talk about the surprising implications her work for things like plate tectonics, the structure of the sun & the liquid sun model championed by PM Robitaille, and how to see the pieces that everyone else misses.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 35The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastDiscovery of a New Planetary System, Stable Trio of Icy Worlds in the Kuiper Belt, and the Fascinating Concept of White HolesIn this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the groundbreaking discovery of a nearby planetary system orbiting Barnard's Star, the second closest star system to the Sun. Located just 5.96 light years away, this system comprises four small planets, each 20 to 30% the mass of Earth, revealing new insights into the potential for life beyond our solar system. We discuss the significance of these findings and the advanced techniques used to confirm their existence, including the innovative Maroon X instrument.Exploring the Kuiper BeltWe also explore the remarkable discovery of a stable trio of small frozen worlds in the Kuiper Belt, cataloged as the Algiera system. This intriguing find, made using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory, could potentially be only the second three-body system identified in this remote region, challenging existing theories about how such formations occur.Theoretical White HolesAdditionally, we dive into the fascinating hypothesis suggesting that black holes may transition into white holes, ejecting matter and energy back into the universe. This revolutionary idea, rooted in quantum mechanics, opens up new possibilities for understanding the nature of black holes and the fundamental workings of the universe.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 35 for broadcast on 21 March 202500:49 Discovery of a planetary system around Barnard's Star06:30 Significance of the findings and the Maroon X instrument12:15 Overview of the Algiera system in the Kuiper Belt18:00 Implications for our understanding of Kuiper Belt objects22:45 Theoretical concepts of white holes and their significance27:00 Summary of recent astronomical discoveries30:15 Discussion on health risks associated with slushy drinkswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Jeff Sugarman is a distinguished scholar in theoretical and philosophical psychology, known for his work examining the psychology of selfhood, human agency, and the sociopolitical underpinnings of psychological science. A Professor Emeritus in the Education Department at Simon Fraser University, Dr. Sugarman has spent decades critically interrogating the ways mainstream psychology reflects and reinforces the ideologies of neoliberalism, shaping how we understand identity, mental health, and human development. A past president of the Society for Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology (APA Division 24) and a former associate editor of The Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology and New Ideas in Psychology, Dr. Sugarman has played a key role in advancing critical perspectives in psychology. His extensive body of work includes Persons: Understanding Psychological Selfhood and Agency (2010), Psychology and the Question of Agency (2003), and The Psychology of Human Possibility and Constraint (1999)—books that challenge psychology's tendency to isolate individuals from history, culture, and power structures. In this interview, he explores the philosophical foundations of psychology, the psychological costs of neoliberalism, and why developing a critical psychology of education and mental health is more urgent than ever. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we begin with a tease from Apple CEO Tim Cook. His message on X that  "there's something in the air" has sparked speculation about new MacBook Air models featuring the M4 chip. These potential upgrades include a 25% boost in multi-core CPU performance, enhanced AI capabilities, and improved features like a 12MP Center Stage camera and Wi-Fi 6E support. Apple's shift to a more subtle announcement strategy marks a departure from their traditional product launch approach.We also delve into the world of AI economics with Chinese startup DeepSeek's claim of a theoretical 545% cost-profit margin for its AI models. While this figure is based on calculations involving their V3 and R1 inference systems, real-world factors significantly reduce actual revenue. DeepSeek's aggressive pricing strategy and low development costs have sparked debate within the tech community and impacted AI-related stocks.The episode's main focus is the discovery of vast "gold hydrogen" reserves beneath 30 U.S. states, as revealed by a groundbreaking USGS map. This natural hydrogen, formed through a process called serpentinization in geological formations known as rift-inversion orogens, could revolutionize clean energy production. The abundance and widespread distribution of these reserves may accelerate the transition to sustainable energy sources, potentially reshaping the global energy landscape and creating new economic opportunities in regions with significant deposits.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/apple-air-product-teased-QhTieZlcTwWodiMLzGzP3ghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/deepseek-s-theoretical-545-mar-_vk4xxCjSt.tLxQJCoU2sghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/massive-gold-hydrogen-reserves-kRgxDixrTJCI1W17S2zcbw**Introducing Perplexity Deep Research:**https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

What is the Kardashev Scale? Introduced by Soviet astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev in 1964. A method of classifying civilizations based on their ability to harness and control energy. Originally had three types, but modern interpretations expand it further. The Levels of Civilization Type I – Planetary Civilization Can harness and use all available energy on its home planet. This includes fossil fuels, renewables, and full planetary control over climate and resources. Humanity is currently at ~0.73 on the scale (according to estimates by physicist Michio Kaku). Type II – Stellar Civilization Capable of harnessing all energy from its star. Could involve Dyson Spheres—megastructures built to capture solar energy. Such a civilization would be essentially immune to planetary disasters. Type III – Galactic Civilization Controls energy on a galactic scale, possibly utilizing stars across an entire galaxy. Would require interstellar travel, advanced AI, and megastructures beyond human comprehension. Beyond Type III – Theoretical Extensions Type IV: Harnesses energy on a universal scale, possibly tapping into dark energy. Type V: Masters multiversal travel, controlling energy across different realities (pure speculation at this point). Where Does Humanity Stand? Currently at Type 0.73, relying on fossil fuels but progressing toward renewable and nuclear energy. Theoretical advancements—like fusion power and space mining—could push us toward Type I. Potential roadblocks: climate change, resource depletion, self-destruction, or technological stagnation. Are There Other Kardashev-Level Civilizations? The Fermi Paradox: If advanced civilizations exist, why haven't we detected them? Possible explanations: They are too advanced to notice us. They self-destruct before reaching higher levels. They use energy in ways we don't understand (e.g., dark matter manipulation). Thanks for listening, but remember, don't tell anyone about what you heard today, because This Podcast Is a Secret!

Michael Cremo is a known name in the alternate archaeology community. His and Richard Thompson's 1993 book “Forbidden Archaeology” has been called anunderground classic.But he is an outlier when it comes to extreme human antiquity. Cremo has come to the conclusion that humans – modern humans – have existed on the planet for millions, if not hundreds of millions, of years.This almost dizzying perspective can be derived from the ancient Vedic texts, a tradition that has influenced Michael's worldview deeply.Michael Cremo looked into standard archaeology and found that many archaeologists and paleoanthropologists, over the last century or so, had found anatomically modern human artefacts like bones or footprints embedded in geological strata that were known to be millions of years old.“I thought, why aren't these reports mentioned in the literature today?” Michael says.Well, they are, he explains, but they are interpreted in a way that they can fit in with the current ideas of human history.One example are the footprints paleoanthropologist Mary Leakey found at Laetoli in Tanzania in 1979.Another smoking gun is a finger bone found in Olduvai Gorge, not far from the site of the footprints. The bone does not quite look like it would if it were from another primate or a known prehistoric hominid, but it fits well with the anatomy of modern humans.“Theoretical preconceptions can influence how scientists will react to various categories of evidence”, Michael says.“Evidence that conforms to a particular paradigm will easily pass through this social intellectual filter. You will hear scientists talk about it at seminars. Evidence that doesn't conform is filtered out: ‘It's an anomaly, we'll get to that later'.”An alternative to the rational, physicalist paradigm that dominates archaeology in the West today would be to have a plurality of archaeologies. Cremo highlights theWorld Archaeological Congress and its scientific journal “Archaeologies”.He appreciates the boom in alternative archaeology in recent years.“But we deal with different parts of the time spectrum.”In Michael Cremo's view, the study of paleoarchaeology cannot really be separated from the study of consciousness and what a human being is.“The cosmos is no accident. There is a purpose to it.”“But the cosmos goes through cycles of manifestation and unmanifestation. These cycles go on eternally. In that sense, there is no creation, there is an ongoing event.”And part of that ongoing event is the existence of human beings.“We are present, I believe, because it's in the human bodily vehicle that a conscious self can come to understand the real answer to the question ‘who am I?'”This entails that entire human civilizations have risen and fallen, time and time again, for millions of years.In the Vedic worldview, what science calls the Big Bang is perhaps merely one exhalation in the cosmic breathing, by which universes expand and collapse incessantly.Many people want simple explanations, Michael notes. That goes for Christian literalists and physicalist scientists as well as new age types, who want to explain the mysterious human evolution with extraterrestrial influence.“But the real situation may be a little more complex. There may be threads of all of those things, woven into a beautiful tapestry, and with some overall guiding intelligence”, he says.Our time is crucial in many ways, but with a cyclic Vedic view, this isn't the only crucial era. We entered the most problematic of the fouryugas, world ages, some 5,000 years ago, and we will not leave it until over 400,000 years from now. But there is a silver lining, according to Michael:“Even in the winter there are warmer periods, and we are entering one such now. It will last for 10,000 years.”Michael'swebsiteMichael'sFacebook

Seth and Sean continue to discuss a hypothetical trade that would bring Kevin Durant to the Rockets and dive into some of the fun parts of JJ Watt's appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

By now, many of you have heard of my coined term, The Mitochondrial Triad, which comprises the three most effective and efficacious ways (in my opinion) to optimize mitochondrial function. At the end of the day, mitochondrial function is the foundation of wellness and longevity until proven otherwise. With that being said, The Triad is not set in stone and is fluid based on new information, research, etc., meaning it could grow to a quad, quint and beyond. However, it would take a powerful modality, molecule, etc. with rigorous studies to make the cut. But by the end of today's conversation with renowned pharmacist and author, Dr. Nayan Patel, the case can be made that glutathione should be heavily considered.The kicker with glutathione is that we produce it endogenously, so we have some control over its abundance or depletion in our body. After all, it is the master antioxidant in our body and quenches oxidative stress, so given its powerful electron-donating properties (similar, but not exactly the same as methylene blue and C60), you can imagine the health benefits it provides when at proper levels and what happens when our body is depleted.Dr. Patel is a sought after pharmacist, wellness expert, and thought leader in his industry. He has been working with physicians since 1999 to custom develop medication for their clients and design a patient-specific drug and nutrition regimen. He has been the pharmacist of choice to celebrities, CEOs and physicians themselves. He recently published his first comprehensive book, The Glutathione Revolution. After 11 years of clinical research on the master antioxidant, glutathione, Dr. Patel and his team developed a patented technology to deliver glutathione topically, changing the game on how best to absorb GSH systemically.

In today's episode, we unpack how rigorous research translates into actionable strategies for wealth management. Ben and Mark are joined by Peter Mladina, Executive Director of Portfolio Research at Northern Trust Wealth Management and professor at UCLA. With an impressive body of published work and practical innovations like his goals-based asset allocation software, Peter offers a unique perspective on bridging the gap between theory and practice. The conversation delves into foundational topics like asset allocation and factor models, with a special focus on practical applications of research in wealth management. Peter shares insights from his research, including intriguing findings on factor investing and joint tests of market efficiency. From real estate investment trusts to the nuances of the Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM), the discussion covers how these concepts can directly inform financial planning and portfolio construction.
